Mas Cristine Le Grill White Cotes du Roussillon 2017

A delicious mix of sunkissed Roussillon Macabeu and Vermentino fruit, this is as fresh and fun a white as you could wish for, but which also offers more mouthfeel and complexity than its peers. There’s a bit of white peach, yuzu citrus,
and a more-ish fleshiness to the palate. This would make a lovely apero or a dry white to complement a starter of smoked salmon with citrus dressing and horseradish cream. It’s worth noting what the winemaker says about this wine: “The 2017 is particularly good as the fruit that would normally go for our top Vermentino,
Rock n’ Rolle, all went in here instead. Why? Well, winter 2017 saw our first frost in 60 years, and then, in the summer, the boar got to the fruit as well. There just wasn’t enough to bottle it on its own, so we added it to Le Grill.”
